Roseburg is the county seat of Douglas County, in Southern Oregon and is nestled in the beautiful Umpqua Valley. Roseburg is know for their lumber mills and forest products which they distribute globally. The small town is far from quiet and has quite a bit of history, including a visit from the music legend Johnny Cash, who dedicated the song "Lumberjack" to Roseburg.
The Umpqua National Forest borders Roseburg. The Umpqua Valley, in which Roseburg was built, has become a popular place for vineyards.
